jadengoreon Ask HN: Is React Native enough to justify using React over alternatives?

Honestly depends on your use case.

Do you absolutely need a native-feeling mobile app? React Native (and ultimately React) are worth your time and investment.

In Gitlab's case, Vue.js works well for them because their product is web-first and allows them to iterate quickly.

For the most part, I consider React Native separate from React entirely. I consider most startups to either be completely web or completely mobile, and to let questions in the former case be answered by validating and iterating on the product quickly with a web app.

jadengoreon Paw – Advanced API tool for Mac

I've owned Paw for a while, and I find it much more user-friendly than Postman. It's not for everyone, sure, but the developer has put in good work and you won't regret a purchase.

jadengoreon Salary Negotiation

Josh Doody has been doing great talks on this for a while. Haven't read the article, but I've heard some of his other work. Should be a good read.

jadengoreon GitHub Dark – Switch off the lights

Same, Github has way too much white on the page and it absolutely kills my eyes. I've been using this for a few months and there's no way I am going back.

jadengoreon Sunrise is shutting down

Second this, totally worth the money and it works great.

jadengoreon Are you serial, Promise.all?

I've come up with a similar implementation, I will credit you for inspiring a working solution in my article! Thank you very much!

jadengoreon Are you serial, Promise.all?

Awesome find! I was not considering that a promise is executing as soon as it is created, and this is why the implementation still results in parallel execution.

I've gone back to the drawing board, and I've updated my post accordingly with a better solution using reduce. I've also used your demo above as an example and credited you in my article (please let me know if that is not OK, and I will take it down).

Thanks again!

jadengoreon Are you serial, Promise.all?

This is cool! Thanks for sharing!

In my case, there is a bit less code, but I really do appreciate how your implementation is not Bluebird-dependent.

jadengoreon The eGPU Problem

Well-written article! Hopefully OS X will open this up so intensive gaming can actually be possible for MBP owners.

jadengoreon RemixOS – Android for the desktop

It seems like a good idea, but of course its not running the latest version of Android. Most of the problems with Android stem from security updates not reaching devices in a timely manner, and RemixOS is just another example of a skin that is behind. Most devices are only on RemixOS 1.5, which is Android 5.0.2.

jadengoreon Smartflix – Access the entire Netflix catalogue, region-free

I think they have, I just tried to use it and I'm getting a Netflix site error.

jadengoreon BookShelf, Simple ORM for Node

It's definitely a tradeoff that has led to some problems. However, I think it's important to remember Bookshelf's flexibility, and that the tradeoffs are more language-level than library-level.

jadengoreon Gray Code

Learned about this in school, cool to see it on HN.

jadengoreon A Few Weeks with Atom

For the UI. Atom is a significant update in user interface, and while there are performance dips (mainly at startup or using complex packages), the overall experience of using Atom has improved my workflow.
